No my car is still in a semi crushed state. I am thinking I may take the 328IS down for the Fall Fling just to get back on the track. I do plan on doing 6-8 club races next year however. Waiting for a ruling on the remote reservoir shocks before we tear into the suspension this winter.

Little mods like this help you get there without major modifications

Well, it all adds up. A number of small changes, like Robert's drain plugs, and pretty soon you're talking a real peformance increase. Just depends how competitive you want to be.

graham had the right idea here. i've now stripped out 220lbs of my 993. i can tell you it made a huge difference. to me adding 5 rwhp is somewhat analgous to stripping out another 50lbs. and that is real real hard!
as i've told robert - get me one quick!!!

Boris, I knew you'd understand
standard Carrera - 199hp/kg (272hp/empty DIN weight)
modified Carrera - 243hp/kg (with 10% less weight and 10% more power)
standard Turbo - 272hp/kg (408hp/empty DIN weight)
The combination of modest weight removal and power gain increases power:weight by more than half the gap between the NA and Turbo cars.

To me, it'll make a difference if it's a 5rwhp difference over most of the power curve (as opposed to upping peak a little), and if it adds 5hp on top of the other 'standard' mods for the 993.

$100 per HP -- the cost for RS 3.8 cams, NOT including installation. 12 HP gain.
